Hayden Mullins has hailed West Ham United Football Club boss Gianfranco Zola.

The jury may still be out on the managerial qualities of the former Chelsea maestro, but Mullins has certainly been won over.

"It was not quite going for us a couple of weeks ago. But now it is turning round, and everything is looking upwards," he told the official club site.

"We are going higher up in the league and are trying to win as many games as we can - and that is a tribute to the manager."
